I don't have screenshots, but it was supposedly written by the other woman in the story, I believe her name was Stacy and she was dating Ray at the time.  In it, she picked apart the victim's behavior in very much the same way you just did (congrats on thinking the exact same way as every other rape apologist in this toxic scene).
Masked Intruder shared the post without comment, only to delete it and post this bullshit after receiving blowback.  The post and comments under it should hopefully clear your personal burden of proof that TBR's post existed.
Bottom line, Ray is not a safe person for women to be around, and the reason this shit never changes is these guys get their scene-bros to back them up, as you've done, congrats on fulfilling your duty.  The band was quietly dropped from this year's Fest lineup.  Look at their fb for about a week after 7/21, the date the podcast came out.  All the comments were turned off on their posts, but not on the post about the podcast so they could do damage control.  The band managed to semi-successfully sweep this under the rug.
And Fat still chose to put out their new album.

All this is a bummer but the Summer of 69 still rips

Really? Are you actually this deluded, to think a grad-level formulation like that is in any real way an indication of me having not grown up? Precisely, how?
Maybe consider the fact that you're exemplifying the very same persecution-complex I've described, and maybe are not self-aware enough to understand that, before you post your obviously triggered rebuttal? One of the symptoms of persecution complex is getting  inordinately triggered on behalf of others (that you might have a misplaced overidentification for).
And there are plenty of maladjusted young musicians who grow and age into mental wellness. Look at Nick Cave, Thom Yorke, Tom Waits, everyone in Depeche Mode, etc., etc. the list is long tbh so spare me the "genius and madness are bedfellows" argument. It's trite, and cliché AF.
Nothing is more immature than still being hung up on/a mark for that 27 Club mythos.

Some of us wish that the guy that self-pityingly (but also honestly) sung "Screw all my friends/They're all full of shit/With a smile on your face/And then do it again/I wish you would" over 20 years ago would have grown and matured out of that self-destructive behaviour, especially given the access to mental health that comes with money & fame.
Some of us don't sit around and justify or rationalize such behaviour in others. Some of us have decided to avoid being experts at enablement and don't confuse compassion with it. Some of us have grown the fuck up and expect others to do the same. *emoji shrug*

oh for sure man I feel soooOOOooOOoo sorry for them, being born 50 years too late to be able to openly hit on and/or fuck 15 year old girls like Elvis was able to get away with,
 
foh

In a world that’s constantly changing, it’s nice to know I could have counted on that for the past 20 years. 

Got all three in today and these are amazing. These recordings sound better than they ever have. I need a new record from these guys, and soon.
 
…and hopefully from the same label. Really impressed with the overall product that I may just sell my originals.

The apex of any music debate is truly when the conversation devolves to homophobic insults...

That was kinda my thought process? It’s relevant to the album, soooo… 

Oh, I thought he was being all tongue in cheek and y’all were buds. 
 
That’s, uhhh… not a good look.

FWIW I appreciate it though. Wouldn’t have known about it cos got no time to be checkin the cassette boards all day. 
 
Besides, so many other people do this, all the time.

Dope. Copped both variants because wtf not?

If I didn't know any better, at first glance I'd think "oh what new King Gizzard album is this?" lol

Solar Power - A Message From the George Michael Estate

Me getting ready to spot the novelty-vinyl clowns in this thread.

All I know is mine arrived, same packing as everyone else. No damage issues, sounds good, looks great, glad to finally finish off my Saves the Day collection by pretending '9' never came out. I have almost every album from my youth that I've ever wanted to own on vinyl (that exists), and I'm getting very close to feeling like my entire collection is complete.

OMFG I GOT THIS RECORD AND LIKE WOW THE MAILER WOW BUT LIKE SEAM SPLITZZZZZ
 
Y’all are a never-ending supply of baseless whining. Seam splits happen even when things are packed with that almighty piece of cardboard. Anyone wanna comment on how great this sounds and how good it is to have something that you could have potentially not owned? Because it’s awesome, and the records look great, and there are just so many other things to say here instead of the same old shit y’all keep repeating ad nauseam.
 
<end rant, can’t wait for everyone to back up their whiny posts with silly excuses as to why they’re entitled to this opinion>
 
 

You liked the album? Buy it again but with half a dozen more songs that sound exactly the same as the others.

Yo...from that photo it is not at all on the packaging. That package was mishandled.

Did you guys want the label to buckle your copy up in their passenger seat and hand deliver these bad boys? 
Could an extra piece of cardboard made them slightly more secure? Sure. But the postal service isn’t treating your parcel with care, I’ve had much better packaged records show up with more damage.

This would be ideal, and with Numero handling it, you just know it would be nothing less than impressive.

mine arrived yesterday.   i worked in a music distribution warehouse for a few years....i have no idea what the complaints are about the mailers.   maybe mine was shipped in a different style mailer.   arrived completely fine.   not certain what all the whining is about

The singer Brandin was a regular at a bar where I did sound for a bit and suffice it to say that he has never stopped living in and for the moment that they recorded their first music video. I genuinely think it's the only thing he ever talked about to me... which was pretty surreal, because I loved them on that show. There's no one more sad than a drunken failed rock star at the local watering hole.
